These classrooms will sign up to give feedback to their assigned teams. The number of wikis will depend on the number of students in the class. To sign up to be a sounding board, please put your information on the discussion tab along with your e-mail information.
What will they do?
Our goal is to provide meaningful peer feedback to each team each week of the project from a different peer reviewer. (3 peer reviewers per team)
Peer review is also part of the new NETS standards from ISTE and is something that we are going to have to do correctly, we need to begin to share best practices.
How much time will it take?
Several leading teachers who have experience in collaboration and peer review will have their classrooms participate as peer reviewers either the week of November 12 or November 19th.
Last spring, Sharon Peters served as head coach for this project. She is no longer in the classroom but has agreed to advise the teachers and students and serve as a resource.
